Iris Murdoch

Citas

• “Love is the extremely difficult realisation that something other than oneself is real. Love, and so art and morals, is the discovery of reality.”

• “Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonising preoccupation with self.”

• “People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.”

• “Writing is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one's luck.”

• “Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wave-length of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.”
